Background: political science & imaginary theory

What is freedom? What are its limits? To try to
answer these questions, I chose to explore human relations to nature and techniques with an approach by imaginary.

Imaginary isn't fantasy nor imagination but the very framework of all human representations and thoughts. My inspiration was Gilbert Durand's theory. I meant imaginary as a fountamental ground for social and cultural representations.

Imaginary should be reserved to speak about this frame, imaginaries to social corpus of representations.

TRAJECTORY
UNTIL THE PhD:

After a BA in Spanish cultures and literatures and various professional experiences, I applied for
a MA by research with the Hannah Arendt Institute at University of Eastern Paris. The first year was dedicated to political philosophy with a memoir on the issue of exploitation of the other.

I began my exploration of imaginary in the second year of the MA. I discovered the work of Gilbert Durand and the idea of a fundamental ground for representations. Albeit the need of an
epistemological work on this theory, imaginary appeared to me as a key to work on the human mind in a transdisciplinary way. My second memoir was on the lion as a political symbol at the end of
the Romanesque period in Western Europe.

I went on with a Ph.D. on the fantasy of returning to nature. I spent the first four months in French Guyana to confront with a different way of living and thinking. I went to Trois-Sauts in the
Amerindian area, in the extreme South East where Oyapock river is not far from its headwaters.
